Showing mechanical gift at a young age, Matzeliger began working in machine shops managed by his father at 10. At 19, he left Suriname to see the world as a sailor on an East Indian merchant ship. After settling in Philadelphia in 1873, Matzeliger struggled to make a living in Philadelphia. In 1877, he moved to Lynn, Massachusetts, to seek work in the town’s rapidly growing shoe industry. He found a position in a shoe factory. Matzeliger learned cloth trade, which made shoes almost wholly by hand. Shoemakers made molds (模具) of customers’ feet with wood or stone. The shoes were then sized and shaped according to the molds. The process of shaping was done entirely by hand. This was considered the most difficult and time-consuming. Matzeliger set out to find a solution to the problems he found in the shoe-making process. He thought there had to be a way to develop a good method for lasting shoes. He began coming up with designs for machines that could do the job. After experimenting with several models, he applied for a patent on a “shoe lasting machine (鞋楦机)”. The machine held a shoe on a shoe tree, pulled the leather down around the heel, set and drove in the nails, and then produced the completed shoe. It could produce 700 pairs of shoes a day — more than 10 times the amount produced by human hands. Matzeliger’s shoe lasting machine was an immediate success. In 1889, the Consolidated Lasting Machine Company was formed to make the devices, with Matzeliger receiving a large amount of stock in the organization. Matzeliger’s shoe lasting machine increased shoe production greatly. The result was the employment of more unskilled workers and the increase of low-cost, high-quality shoes for people around the world. 24. What can we know about Matzeliger’s childhood? A. He did well in his study. B. He desired to be an engineer. C. He had mechanical talent. D. He lived in a poor family. 25. Why did Matzeliger go to Lynn? A. He wanted to find a job. B. He intended to buy shoes. C. He was appointed to manage a factory. D. He was interested in trade. 26. What is the author’s attitude toward Matzeliger’s invention? A. Unclear. B. Approving. C. Doubtful. D. Tolerant. 27. What is the text mainly about? A. Matzeliger’s shoe lasting machine. B. Matzeliger’s unusual growth experience. C Matzeliger’s surprising talent for making shoes. D. Matzeliger’s contribution to shoe-making industry. C In our fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in small talk. Is there more to those conversations than meets the eye? In fact, small talk has the power to create meaningful connections and foster lasting relationships, all through the magic of shared hobbies. Small talk serves as a bridge that connects strangers, turning them into friends. Through small talk, we break the ice in social situations, creating a comfortable and friendly atmosphere that encourages open discussion. By starting conversations with simple and non-threatening topics, small talk allows us to ease into deeper and more meaningful conversations. It helps us find common ground and discover shared interests, laying the base for a deep connection. When we engage in small talk, we have an opportunity to go beyond the surface level and discover common interests and passions. Whether it’s a love for photography, a skill for gardening, or a passion for cooking, hobbies serve as a key to valuable connections. Finding common points is the key to unlocking meaningful connections. It is an art that includes discovering shared interests, experiences, or values that connect two people. Through a shared hobby, we can find friendship, understanding, and build relationships based on appreciation of each other. Moreover, small talk presents valuable networking opportunities. It enables us to connect with professionals from different industries, expanding our network and potentially opening doors to new career options. Furthermore, small talk is not limited to words alone. Non-verbal communication, such as gestures, facial expressions, and body language, adds depth to our conversations. It adds to our words, allowing us to express our intentions and emotions more effectively. In conclusion, the power of small talk can enrich our social lives and lead to more meaningful connections. It is through simple exchanges and interest in others that we can develop the friendship. So, let us recognize the significance of small talk and use its potential to create deep and lasting connections in our lives. 28. What does the underlined word “foster” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Control. B. Develop. C. Slow. D. Manage. 29. What makes small talk more significant according to Para. 2? A. An easy beginning. B. A quiet environment. C. A heated discussion. D. A shared friendship. 30 How can we show our feelings more effectively? A. Chat with clever words. B. Add depth to the dialogue. C. Do specific movements. D. Observe others’ gestures. 31. What advice might the author offer to us? A. Participating in social activities. B. Learning about others’ hobbies. C. Maintaining friendships carefully. D. Chatting with more people. D Do you know what a pickleball is? In the last few years, pickleball has taken Europe and North America by storm. There’re more than 200 official community clubs registered with Pickleball Canada and an estimated one million Canadians playing each month. “Pickleball takes inspiration from tennis, badminton and table tennis,” says Hope Tolley, managing director of recreational programs for USA Pickleball. It’s played on a badminton-sized court and with a net that’s almost as high as for tennis. Players use square paddles (球拍) and a small plastic ball with some holes that’s similar in size to a tennis ball, but much lighter. Since the lighter ball doesn’t bounce as much, it’s easier to get a rally (continuous back-and-forth play) going. Unlike tennis, you can score only when it’s your turn to serve. If your receiver fails to return the ball over the net, either from the serve or in a rally, you get the point. Be sure to hit with enough force or you’ll end up with a “falafel” — a shot that falls short of the net. Matches can be played in doubles or singles, and games are played to 11 points and must be won by a margin (差额) of two points. Lose with a score of 11 -0 and you’ve been “pickled”! Playing the game can improve your hand-eye coordination and increase your reaction time, because you can vary the intensity — going to all lengths from the beginning or taking a slower pace. “It can be played in non-traditional spaces like gyms and parking lots,” says Tolley. “Any smooth surface will work, as long as you have a net, a ball and a paddle.” Pickleball is easy to learn and is accessible to anyone. People who are really into the sport can join tournaments at various levels. It is the most inclusive (包容性的) game in the world. By 2030, pickleball is expected to have as many as 40 million players worldwide. 32. Why does the author begin the text with a question? A. To let people learn about pickleball. B. To introduce the topic of the text. C. To show the pickleball is popular. D. To express his interest in pickleball. 33. What do pickleball and tennis have in common? A. Having plastic balls with similar size. B. Having paddles with the same weight. C. Using round paddles and heavy balls. D. Originating in table tennis and badminton. 34. Which of the following is the advantage of pickleball? A. It’s easy to make your opponents be defeated. B. Players win the match by getting nine points. C. It’s good to improving players’ eyesight. D. Players can play it at most open places. 35. What can we infer about pickleball from the last paragraph? A. It’s been enjoyed mostly by young people. B. It’s easy to get a prize in a tournament. C. It’s fit for many different people. D. It’s urgent to hold matches of various levels. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 To get a first-class degree at university, you’ll usually need an average of around 70 percent or above overall. ____36____ However, it may be simpler if you take the following tips.

Then she’d walk to the front gate and see them arrive—many on the school bus, others with their parents. Miss Martin would lead her students into the classroom and the day would begin. But then she started noticing that one of her favorite students, a particularly bright little girl called Debbie McKay, always arrived late and alone. Miss Martin asked Debbie why she was always late. But the little girl looked frightened and embarrassed, so Miss Martin decided to contact her parents. She called Debbie’s mom, then her dad, but there was no answer. She saw the girl arrive at school on foot two more times and noticed that she devoured (狼吞虎咽地吃) her school lunch, and put some bread rolls into her pockets. The child was obviously going hungry. Something was going on, and Miss Martin decided it was time to take action. First, she spoke to the headmaster. “Mrs. Dalton, I think Debbie is definitely neglected. We need to help her!” she said. Mrs. Dalton agreed and decided to ask Miss Martin to trail the little girl home after school, and what she discovered left her in tears. After school, Miss Martin saw Debbie walk three blocks and head for a shabby house. She opened the broken door and went in and Miss Martin screctly followed her into the house. Lying on the old bed was a pale thin man, Mr. McKay, and Debbie was feeding him a bread roll and giving him a carton of milk to drink from. Suddenly, Debbie saw Miss Martin looking into the shabby house and screamed. Miss Martin immediately tried to calm her down. “Please don’t be scared, Debbie. I’m here to help you.” She approached the man and saw that he was burning up with fever. “Debbie,” she said gently, “I’m going to get your daddy to a hospital, OK? Then the doctors can help him.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Debbie was shaking and kept crying. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then Miss Martin started a post in GoFundMe page. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023—2024学年南宁市高二年级下学期期末考调研测试 高二英语试卷 试卷共8页，67小题，满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 考查范围：高考全部范围。 2. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号等填写在答题卡指定位置上。 3. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4. 考生必须保持答题卡的整洁。考试结束后，请将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上，录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

Showing mechanical gift at a young age, Matzeliger began working in machine shops managed by his father at 10. At 19, he left Suriname to see the world as a sailor on an East Indian merchant ship. After settling in Philadelphia in 1873, Matzeliger struggled to make a living in Philadelphia. In 1877, he moved to Lynn, Massachusetts, to seek work in the town’s rapidly growing shoe industry. He found a position in a shoe factory. Matzeliger learned cloth trade, which made shoes almost wholly by hand. Shoemakers made molds (模具) of customers’ feet with wood or stone. The shoes were then sized and shaped according to the molds. The process of shaping was done entirely by hand. This was considered the most difficult and time-consuming. Matzeliger set out to find a solution to the problems he found in the shoe-making process. He thought there had to be a way to develop a good method for lasting shoes. He began coming up with designs for machines that could do the job. After experimenting with several models, he applied for a patent on a “shoe lasting machine (鞋楦机)”. The machine held a shoe on a shoe tree, pulled the leather down around the heel, set and drove in the nails, and then produced the completed shoe. It could produce 700 pairs of shoes a day — more than 10 times the amount produced by human hands. Matzeliger’s shoe lasting machine was an immediate success. In 1889, the Consolidated Lasting Machine Company was formed to make the devices, with Matzeliger receiving a large amount of stock in the organization. Matzeliger’s shoe lasting machine increased shoe production greatly. The result was the employment of more unskilled workers and the increase of low-cost, high-quality shoes for people around the world. 24. What can we know about Matzeliger’s childhood? A. He did well in his study. B. He desired to be an engineer. C. He had mechanical talent. D. He lived in a poor family. 25. Why did Matzeliger go to Lynn? A. He wanted to find a job. B. He intended to buy shoes. C. He was appointed to manage a factory. D. He was interested in trade. 26. What is the author’s attitude toward Matzeliger’s invention? A. Unclear. B. Approving. C. Doubtful. D. Tolerant. 27. What is the text mainly about? A. Matzeliger’s shoe lasting machine. B. Matzeliger’s unusual growth experience. C. Matzeliger’s surprising talent for making shoes. D. Matzeliger’s contribution to shoe-making industry. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了鞋匠Matzeliger的人生经历，他发明了鞋楦机并申请了专利，为制鞋业做出了巨大贡献。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Showing mechanical gift at a young age, Matzeliger began working in machine shops managed by his father at 10.(Matzeliger从小就表现出机械天赋，10岁开始在父亲经营的机械车间工作。)”可知，Matzeliger在童年时，就表现出机械方面的天赋。故选C项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“In 1877, he moved to Lynn, Massachusetts, to seek work in the town’s rapidly growing shoe industry. He found a position in a shoe factory.(1877年，他搬到马萨诸塞州的林恩，为了在该镇迅速发展的制鞋业中寻找工作。他在一家鞋厂找到了一份工作。)”可知，Matzeliger去林恩是因为他想找份工作。故选A项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“It could produce 700 pairs of shoes a day—more than 10 times the amount produced by human hands.(它每天可以生产700双鞋，是人类双手产量的10倍以上。)”和最后一段“Matzeliger’s shoe lasting machine increased shoe production greatly. The result was the employment of more unskilled workers and the increase of low-cost, high-quality shoes for people around the world.(Matzeliger的鞋楦机大大提高了鞋的产量。其结果是雇佣了更多的非技术工人，为世界各地的人们提供了更多低成本、高质量的鞋子)”可知，作者对Matzeliger发明的鞋楦机持认可的态度。故选B项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据最后一段“Matzeliger’s shoe lasting machine increased shoe production greatly.

Is there more to those conversations than meets the eye? In fact, small talk has the power to create meaningful connections and foster lasting relationships, all through the magic of shared hobbies. Small talk serves as a bridge that connects strangers, turning them into friends. Through small talk, we break the ice in social situations, creating a comfortable and friendly atmosphere that encourages open discussion. By starting conversations with simple and non-threatening topics, small talk allows us to ease into deeper and more meaningful conversations. It helps us find common ground and discover shared interests, laying the base for a deep connection. When we engage in small talk, we have an opportunity to go beyond the surface level and discover common interests and passions. Whether it’s a love for photography, a skill for gardening, or a passion for cooking, hobbies serve as a key to valuable connections. Finding common points is the key to unlocking meaningful connections. It is an art that includes discovering shared interests, experiences, or values that connect two people. Through a shared hobby, we can find friendship, understanding, and build relationships based on appreciation of each other. Moreover, small talk presents valuable networking opportunities. It enables us to connect with professionals from different industries, expanding our network and potentially opening doors to new career options. Furthermore, small talk is not limited to words alone. Non-verbal communication, such as gestures, facial expressions, and body language, adds depth to our conversations. It adds to our words, allowing us to express our intentions and emotions more effectively. In conclusion, the power of small talk can enrich our social lives and lead to more meaningful connections. It is through simple exchanges and interest in others that we can develop the friendship. So, let us recognize the significance of small talk and use its potential to create deep and lasting connections in our lives. 28. What does the underlined word “foster” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Control. B. Develop. C. Slow. D. Manage. 29. What makes small talk more significant according to Para. 2? A An easy beginning. B. A quiet environment. C. A heated discussion. D.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了闲聊的重要性以及形式，鼓励人们充分认识闲聊的重要性并利用它的潜力。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。由文章第一段“In fact, small talk has the power to create meaningful connections and foster lasting relationships, all through the magic of shared hobbies.(事实上，闲聊有能力通过共同爱好的魔力，建立有意义的联系， 持久的关系。)”可知，本句前半句指出，闲聊能够创造有意义的联系，可以推测后半句与其构成递进关系，创造联系的进一步是“培养”特久的关系，所以猜测foster是“培养”的意思。故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“By starting conversations with simple and non-threatening topics, small talk allows us to ease into deeper and more meaningful conversations. (通过以简单、无威胁的话题开始对话，闲聊可以让我们轻松地进行更深入、更有意义的对话。)”可知，通过以简单的话题开始对话，闲聊可以让我们轻松进入更深入，更有意义的对话。故选A项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Non-verbal communication, such as gestures, facial expressions, and body language, adds depth to our conversations. It adds to our words, allowing us to express our intentions and emotions more effectively.(非语言交流，如手势、面部表情和肢体语言，会增加我们对话的深度。它增加了我们的话语，使我们能够更有效地表达我们的意图和情绪。)”可知，我们可以通过做特定的动作，如手势、面部表情和肢体语言，来更有效地表达我们的感受。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。文章最后一段“So, let us recognize the significance of small talk and use its potential to create deep and lasting connections in our lives.(因此，让我们认识到闲聊的重要性，并利用它的潜力在我们的生活中建立深刻而持久的联系。)”可知，作者鼓励人们多与他人闲聊。故选D项。 D Do you know what a pickleball is? In the last few years, pickleball has taken Europe and North America by storm. There’re more than 200 official community clubs registered with Pickleball Canada and an estimated one million Canadians playing each month. “Pickleball takes inspiration from tennis, badminton and table tennis,” says Hope Tolley, managing director of recreational programs for USA Pickleball. It’s played on a badminton-sized court and with a net that’s almost as high as for tennis. Players use square paddles (球拍) and a small plastic ball with some holes that’s similar in size to a tennis ball, but much lighter. Since the lighter ball doesn’t bounce as much, it’s easier to get a rally (continuous back-and-forth play) going. Unlike tennis, you can score only when it’s your turn to serve. If your receiver fails to return the ball over the net, either from the serve or in a rally, you get the point. Be sure to hit with enough force or you’ll end up with a “falafel” — a shot that falls short of the net. Matches can be played in doubles or singles, and games are played to 11 points and must be won by a margin (差额) of two points. Lose with a score of 11 -0 and you’ve been “pickled”! Playing the game can improve your hand-eye coordination and increase your reaction time, because you can vary the intensity — going to all lengths from the beginning or taking a slower pace. “It can be played in non-traditional spaces like gyms and parking lots,” says Tolley. “Any smooth surface will work, as long as you have a net, a ball and a paddle.” Pickleball is easy to learn and is accessible to anyone. People who are really into the sport can join tournaments at various levels. It is the most inclusive (包容性的) game in the world. By 2030, pickleball is expected to have as many as 40 million players worldwide. 32. Why does the author begin the text with a question? A. To let people learn about pickleball. B. To introduce the topic of the text. C. To show the pickleball is popular. D. To express his interest in pickleball. 33. What do pickleball and tennis have in common? A. Having plastic balls with similar size. B. Having paddles with the same weight. C. Using round paddles and heavy balls. D. Originating in table tennis and badminton. 34. Which of the following is the advantage of pickleball? A. It’s easy to make your opponents be defeated. B. Players win the match by getting nine points. C. It’s good to improving players’ eyesight. D. Players can play it at most open places. 35. What can we infer about pickleball from the last paragraph? A. It’s been enjoyed mostly by young people. B. It’s easy to get a prize in a tournament. C. It’s fit for many different people. D. It’s urgent to hold matches of various levels. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章属于说明文。文章简要介绍了匹克球这项运动，包括其起源、比赛规则、所需设备、运动好处以及其在全球的普及程度和未来发展预期。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。作者在第一段首先提出了一个问题“Do you know what a pickleball is? (你知道匹克球是什么吗?)”，接着介绍了匹克球在欧洲和北美的流行情况，以及加拿大有大量的官方社区俱乐部和估计每月有一百万加拿大人玩匹克球。由此可推知，作者提出这个问题是为了引出文章的主题——匹克球，让读者了解这项运动。故选B项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Players use square paddles (球拍) and a small plastic ball with some holes that’s similar in size to a tennis ball, but much lighter. (选手们使用方形的球拍和一个小塑料球，球上面有一些小洞，大小与网球相似，但要轻得多)”可知，匹克球和网球的共同点是它们使用大小相似的塑料球。故选A项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“‘It can be played in non-traditional spaces like gyms and parking lots,’ says Tolley. ‘Any smooth surface will work, as long as you have a net, a ball and a paddle.’ (托利说：“它可以在健身房和停车场等非传统场所进行。只要你有网、球和球拍，任何光滑的表面都可以。”)”可知，匹克球可以在非传统场地如体育馆和停车场等地进行，只要有网、球和球拍，任何平滑的表面都可以玩。所以，可以在大多数开放的地方玩是匹克球的一个优势。故选D项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。最后一段中“Pickleball is easy to learn and is accessible to anyone. People who are really into the sport can join tournaments at various levels. It is the most inclusive game in the world.(匹克球很容易学，任何人都可以接触到。真正喜欢这项运动的人可以参加不同级别的比赛。它是世界上最具包容性的运动)”可推知，匹克球适合任何人，是最具包容性的运动，适合不同的人玩。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 To get a first-class degree at university, you’ll usually need an average of around 70 percent or above overall. ____36____ However, it may be simpler if you take the following tips.

What 61. economic 62. of 63. its 64. occupying 65. events 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了布达拉宫的历史和特点，包括其命名由来，建造过程，建筑特色以及其在西藏与王朝交流中的重要地位。 【56题详解】 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：据说这是用来问候汉朝公主的。此处描述一般事实，应用一般现在时。空处缺少谓语，动词say与主语It之间是被动关系，应用一般现在时的被动语态。构成了be said to be“据说是”固定句型。主谓一致，故填is said。 【57题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：据传说，公元7世纪，西藏国王松赞干布为了迎接他的新娘文成公主，在红山上建造了一座有一千间房间的9层宫殿，并将其命名为布达拉宫。根据句意可知，空处应用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to greet。 【58题详解】 考查冠词。句意：据传说，公元7世纪，西藏国王松赞干布为了迎接他的新娘文成公主，在红山上建造了一座有一千间房间的9层宫殿，并将其命名为布达拉宫。此处palace为可数名词单数，应用不定冠词表泛指。所连接的单词9-storey发音以辅音音素开头，故填a。 【59题详解】 考查副词。句意：宫殿主要由石头和木头建造，并用当地特有的柳枝装饰。修饰动词made应用副词。故填mainly。 【60题详解】 考查主语从句。句意：我们现在看到的是清朝的建筑和自17世纪以来不断扩大的工作成果。根据is可知，空处引导主语从句，主语从句中缺少see的宾语，应用连词what引导从句，what意为“……的事物”。句首字母大写，故填What。 【61题详解】 考查形容词。句意：布达拉宫是西藏和唐朝文化经济交流的象征。空处与cultural并列修饰名词communication，因此用economy的形容词形式economic。故填economic。 【62题详解】 考查介词。句意：它由两部分组成，红宫为中心，白宫为两翼。be composed of…“由……组成”为固定搭配，故填of。 【63题详解】 考查物主代词。句意：它的墙壁被漆成白色，以传达和平与宁静。空处修饰名词wall，因此用it的形容词性物主代词形式its，作定语。故填its。 【64题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：四楼的东大殿占地717平方米，是举行重要宗教和政治活动的场所。此句已经有谓语动词was，且无连词，因此空处应用非谓语动词形式，动词occupy和其逻辑主语The Great East Hall之间是主动关系，因此用现在分词作后置定语。故填occupying。 【65题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：四楼的东大殿占地717平方米，是举行重要宗教和政治活动的场所。根据important religious and political可知，此处“事件”肯定不止一个，而且event是可数名词，因此用其复数形式。故填events。 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 66. 假设你是李华，你和新西兰好友Mike原定本周六一起去爬山，你因故不能赴约。请你用英文给他写一封电子邮件，内容包括： 1. 道歉并说明原因； 2. 提出弥补方案。 注意：1. 写作词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Mike, ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Mike, I’m terribly sorry to tell you that I can’t go climbing with you this Saturday.

Then she’d walk to the front gate and see them arrive—many on the school bus, others with their parents. Miss Martin would lead her students into the classroom and the day would begin. But then she started noticing that one of her favorite students, a particularly bright little girl called Debbie McKay, always arrived late and alone. Miss Martin asked Debbie why she was always late. But the little girl looked frightened and embarrassed, so Miss Martin decided to contact her parents. She called Debbie’s mom, then her dad, but there was no answer. She saw the girl arrive at school on foot two more times and noticed that she devoured (狼吞虎咽地吃) her school lunch, and put some bread rolls into her pockets. The child was obviously going hungry. Something was going on, and Miss Martin decided it was time to take action. First, she spoke to the headmaster. “Mrs. Dalton, I think Debbie is definitely neglected. We need to help her!” she said. Mrs. Dalton agreed and decided to ask Miss Martin to trail the little girl home after school, and what she discovered left her in tears. After school, Miss Martin saw Debbie walk three blocks and head for a shabby house. She opened the broken door and went in and Miss Martin screctly followed her into the house. Lying on the old bed was a pale thin man, Mr. McKay, and Debbie was feeding him a bread roll and giving him a carton of milk to drink from. Suddenly, Debbie saw Miss Martin looking into the shabby house and screamed. Miss Martin immediately tried to calm her down. “Please don’t be scared, Debbie. I’m here to help you.” She approached the man and saw that he was burning up with fever. “Debbie,” she said gently, “I’m going to get your daddy to a hospital, OK? Then the doctors can help him.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Debbie was shaking and kept crying. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then Miss Martin started a post in GoFundMe page. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Debbie was shaking and kept crying. Miss Martin asked Debbie to tell her what had happened. Debbie explained her mommy was seriously ill in hospital and her dad lost his job. He used to be a chef in a restaurant but it closed down. Worse still, he got really sick. But the family couldn’t afford the hospital bills for her parents. Miss Martin sent Mr. McKay to hospital and the doctors told Miss Martin that Mr. McKay was very ill indeed. They also said that Mr. McKay might have died had he not been sent to hospital in time. Miss Martin was shocked and decided to help Debbie. Then Miss Martin started a post in GoFundMe page. She told the story of the poor family and how Debbie had tried to take care of her sick parents. People were shocked and moved by Debbie’s story and donations flooded in. Before long, the family had enough funds to cover the medical bills, and it took a short time for Mr. McKay to recover his strength. More luckily, several restaurants contacted Mr. McKay and offered him a job! Miss Martin’s concern for little Debbie ended up saving the family and leading them into a brand new life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了马丁老师注意到自己的学生黛比最近有一些反常，于是尾随着她回了家，发现黛比的父亲病得很重。于是马丁老师把麦凯先生送到医院，还为这个家庭筹集善款。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“黛比一直在发抖，不停地哭”可知，第一段可描写黛比倾诉自己家中的困难以及马丁老师把麦凯先生送到医院。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后，马丁小姐在GoFundMe网站上发了一篇帖子”可知，第二段可描写马丁老师为这个贫困的家庭筹集善款，度过难关。 2.续写线索：黛比哭泣——诉说原因——父亲送往医院——筹集善款——家庭得到帮助——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①决定：decide to/determine to ②派遣：send/assign ③提供：offer/provide 情绪类 ①震惊：shocked/surprised ②感动：moved/touched 【点睛】[高分句型1] Miss Martin sent Mr. McKay to hospital and the doctors told Miss Martin that Mr. McKay was very ill indeed.
